Engineering Manager, Identity Platforms
OpenAI wanted a partner that could help enable our vision for owning our identity processes, data, and success. We have a lot of partners, and Ory is one of our best.
How the integration works
The combined Ory and CockroachDB infrastructure integrates with any cloud provider to deliver secure, scalable, and resilient IAM. This architecture features multiple CockroachDB nodes per geographic region, allowing identity data to be stored where regulatory requirements demand while maintaining a globally consistent view.
